Unfortunately, there's not simple formula to identifying all of the factors of a number and it can be a tedious process when trying to identify the divisors of larger numbers. To find the factor combinations of the number 27,422,923, it is easier to work with a table - it's called factoring from the outside in.
We start by creating a table and writing 1 on the left side and then the number we're trying to find the factors for on the right side in a table. Then, below that, write the numbers as a negative as well.
| 1 | 27,422,923 | |
| -1 | -27,422,923 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 27,422,923.
Example:
1 x 27,422,923 = 27,422,923
and
-1 x -27,422,923 = 27,422,923
Notice both answers equal 27,422,923
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 27,422,923 and divide it by 2:
27,422,923 ÷ 2 = 13,711,461.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 13,711,461.5 are factors. In this case, the quotient is not a whole number. Don't write anything down and try the next divisor.
Here is what our table should look like at this step:
| 1 | 27,422,923 | |
| -1 | -27,422,923 |
Now, we try dividing 27,422,923 by 3:
27,422,923 ÷ 3 = 9,140,974.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 9,140,974.3333 are factors. In this case, the quotient is not a whole number. Don't write anything down and try the next divisor.
Here is what our table should look like at this step:
| 1 | 27,422,923 | |
| -1 | -27,422,923 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
27,422,923 ÷ 4 = 6,855,730.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 6,855,730.75 are factors. In this case, the quotient is not a whole number. Don't write anything down and try the next divisor.
Here is what our table should look like at this step:
| 1 | 27,422,923 | |
| -1 | 27,422,923 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 23 | 107 | 253 | 1,013 | 1,177 | 2,461 | 11,143 | 23,299 | 27,071 | 108,391 | 256,289 | 1,192,301 | 2,492,993 | 27,422,923 |
| -1 | -11 | -23 | -107 | -253 | -1,013 | -1,177 | -2,461 | -11,143 | -23,299 | -27,071 | -108,391 | -256,289 | -1,192,301 | -2,492,993 | -27,422,923 |
